Maybe I’m just too young to realize that it’s always been effed up this way, but when I was a kid, I used to [...]

Album: “The Extremist” by Joe Satriani

If you don’t already own this staple, you should be taken out back and shot.

Album: “The Shade of Poison Trees” by Dashboard Confessional

I bought their digital box set a while back, and this album was definitely the best of the bunch.
